At our firm, we will work to get the charges dropped or to lessen the consequences as much as possible. For repeat offenders, there are many ways to challenge the evidence. We will investigate the validity of the initial stop, the officer's approach and if there was reasonable suspicion, validity of breath tests, and other elements.
